Allen Johnson - Daytona Race Report
{gallery}articles/2011/daytona/johnson-race-report:290:193:1:2{/gallery}Just returned from my third experience of road racing and I really am on cloud nine. I got to experience the high banks and high speeds of Daytona, plus the thrill of road racing in the infield. What a blast! Being the third event that I have had the good fortune of attending, my learning curve was very steep. The personal instruction of Cindi Lux of Lux Performance for sure helped, and also the personal assistance of Craig Stanton, who was the other celebrity driver. The two together took me to new levels of road racing, and man was it challenging and beneficial.
I think the most memorable part of the entire experience was the opportunity to follow Craig Stanton around the track for multiple test sessions, with Cindi and Craig on the radio coaching and prompting me with information. That in itself was probably a once in lifetime experience for anyone trying to learn road racing techniques.
As always, the Lux Performance staff and entire crew are the best in the business and certainly stand head and shoulders above anyone in the garage for their preparation and performance of their Dodge Vipers. I certainly hope I get the opportunity to do this challenging sport again with their guidance.
